As I create this Budget Buddy X system for you, I realise more and more that as a Business Leader and Entrepreneur you need to understand your financial numbers. It is not something you do as and when you feel like doing it - it has become your obligation. If you truly want to serve the people you where called to serve at the highest level, you need to make better financial decisions and those decisions starts by understanding your numbers. #StriveForExceptional --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theexceptional/message

One of the reasons I started on this entrepreneurial journey just came true. I wanted to have the freedom to manage my time, not being at the mercy of some corporate structure. And I realized, it does not matter what you start - whether it is a new business, new exercise routine, eating plan, adventure or building your faith - the reason why you start is crucial to your success. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theexceptional/message

First of all, welcome to 2020! I wish you all the best for the new year and new decade. Today, I want to talk about a new concept that I'm implementing in my life as well, which is the One Word Theme. Our lives get more and more complicated, and the trick is to simplify your life and business. The more you can simplify your life and business, the better and more profitable decisions you can make. I share the three benefits of only focussing on one word for the entire year. If you loved this episode, please take a screenshot and share it on your social media.

Today I share an extract from my interview with Vanilla Ice with you. I had this interview at a business conference. We discuss the issue of surrounding yourself with a team and how to lead your team. Building a team and delegating transactional activities is a profitable decision. I had to go through this same experience when I became a business leader. I hold on to transactional activities and neglected transformational activities. Vanilla Ice is not a one-hit-wonder that so many people think of him. He has built a multi-million property empire and is a phenomenal business leader. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a comment and let me know what you learned from it. I will highly appreciate it if you can take a screenshot of the episode and share so that we can help other business leaders together.
